What does Cocktailhire do at my party?
Your bartender prepares the working area and makes and serves your chosen cocktails during the booked hours.
Choose up to five drinks from our existing menu. With staff-only hire, you buy ingredients, ice and glasses using the shopping list; with a stocked package, we bring those supplies. Our team also assembles and removes any mobile bar you book.
Can I book a bartender for a house party or private celebration?
Yes. A suitable kitchen island, home bar or counter can become the drinks station for a birthday, hen party, anniversary or dinner with friends.
You can book the people and hours you need without adding a mobile bar. For a garden party, agree a sheltered working position and access for preparation.
What changes for a wedding or company event?
We match the staff, bar positions and service hours to the venue and event timetable.
Tell us when guests arrive, where drinks will be served and what the venue already provides. A staffed mobile bar supplies a separate service point; a stocked package adds the cocktail ingredients, ice and glassware.
How do I choose and book the right service?
Start with your date, postcode, guest count and service hours to see an itemised quote.
Select staff-only hire if you already have the counter and can arrange supplies. Add equipment or a stocked package when you need them. Choose your cocktails once the service is established, then check the details and terms before confirming.

Who supplies drinks, ice and glasses?
For staff-only hire, you provide ingredients, ice and glasses using the shopping list. Add glassware with a staffed mobile bar, or choose a stocked package with the agreed cocktail ingredients, ice and glasses included.
